T190 drive motor oil change

I have been doing my first service on my new to me Bobcat T190. I pulled the drain plugs on the drive motor (and also pulled the fill plug on top hoping the oil would drain better). It did not drain very fast, but I let it drain until it seemed to stop flowing. When I did the refill with the Bobcat prescribed gear oil, I seemed to fill both cases but I only used about half of the container. The manual seemed to say I should use pretty much the whole bottle. I'll let it sit overnight and then see if I can get some more in tomorrow. Any suggestions for next time ... would it work better to run the machine to heat the oil up before I drain?
